meta-mortsgna is yet another distribution layer. It is based on Ångström distribution - check https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-angstrom.
The target of this layer is to build images with the best out-of-the-box experience and to support developers with helpers for common tasks.
Layer maintainer: Andreas Müller schnitzeltony@gmail.com
Additionally this layer checks the following variable in local.conf:
-
MORTSGNA_ARMV7_TUNE: If this variable is set to "1", all armv7a / cortex variants are build as armv7a.
- Reduce build time/disk-space required when building for multiple machines
- Build optimization (e.g vfp/NEON) is not the best your machine can get
Rules of thumb:
- If you build images for multiple armv7 machines and don't need to tickle the last quarter of your machine's performance: Set MORTSGNA_ARMV7_TUNE="1"
- If you are looking for best optimization for your machine and/or you have a fast build host with lots of disk-space: don't! see conf/distro/include/mortsgna-armv7-tune.inc for more information
The following image-features are (re-)added:
-
x11-base: Let systemd boot into grahical target
-
volatile-log: If set, journal goes to volatile /run/log and /var/log is linked to /run/log which is volatile. NOTE: We change OE-Core's default here: In bitbake.conf VOLATILE_LOG_DIR is enabled so that all images are build for volatile log. Since this is far off what others do change the default. See conf/distro/include/mortsgna-image-logfile-volatile.inc for more information.
This layer contains the following folders:
appends: All bbappends are stored in this folder. For each layer a sub-folder exists and the appends are dynamic: If a layer is not in bblayers.conf the folder for the layer is ignored (see conf/layer.conf).
classes:
- instant-sysroot-target.bbclass: Create a sysroot for target remote building/debugging - Yocto's suggested workflows are cumbersome for ad-hoc usage.
- instant-sysroot-native.bbclass: Native recipes inheriting this class install everything necessary to run into a native sysroot. It's like a quick & minimal native SDK. Currently gcc-cross and gdb-cross inherit this class to enable instant remote debugging.
- user-with-full-skel.bbclass: Helper to populate /etc/skel in user's home at image creation time.
conf: layer.conf / and distro configurations
recipes-defaultconfig:
- default configurations for lxqt and xfce to get a preconfigured environment. Note that all data is stored in th image at /etc/skel
- unpriv-user: A default non root user (named morona) member of many groups required for daily operations. It is shipped with home folder populated form /etc/skel.
recipes-image: All images for console / kde / lxqt / xfce ar found. allgui-images build images for all graphical environments.
recipes-utlis:
- udev-rules-udisks-hide-bootpart: Hide boot partition from udisks
- Some tools (these are the only left from angstrom). Honestly: Have never used them but kept them if users come from angstrom and might miss them.
scripts: A script collection
- to write images or kernel only to sdcards
- for changing recipe checksums automatically after version bump
